Chapter 740: Chapter 0740: You Sell Fake Medicine

Hearing Li Xiaoli’s analysis and conjectures, Tang Ming struggled to contain his laughter, his stomach aching from the effort.

It must be said, though Li Xiaoli did not know the true circumstances, her speculations were convincing and reasonable, easily swaying belief.

"This Li Xiaoli, if it were me, I wouldn’t even know how to explain that Yao buc used True Qi to detoxify Ma Gangjian. After all, with so many people around, no one else noticed; just I spotted the problem, which is too incredible," Tang Ming thought to himself with a mixture of amusement and awe, "Now, Li Xiaoli’s reasonable conjecture has put the Medicine Sect in a tight spot."

"Exactly, the lady’s point is very valid. Ma Gangjian was detoxified after swallowing the second Detoxification Elixir; that one must be the real Detoxification Elixir," Liu Tianji felt more convinced the more he thought about it, and immediately reached out to Yao Ming and Yao buc, "Now, the two of you from the Medicine Sect, we paid so much money and yet you sold us fake elixirs. My father is poisoned, please hand over the real Detoxification Elixir, otherwise, we will not let this matter rest today."

"This..." Yao buc and Yao Ming were rendered speechless, although the truth was not as Li Xiaoli had described, the situation was quite similar.

The pill Yao Ming had taken earlier was the Detoxification Pill, which the Medicine Sect had bought from Su Xiaoxi for fifty million, while those Detoxification Elixirs that followed were detox pills refined by the Medicine Sect, with far inferior detoxification capabilities.

To promote the Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir, Yao buc wanted to take advantage of An Laoyezi’s birthday celebration to market it.

It coincided that the Poison Sect came up with the Fierce Poison Pill, so he decisively decided to have Yao Ming take the Detoxification Pill to counteract the Fierce Poison Pill of the Poison Sect. It would not only suppress the limelight of the Poison Sect, but also serve as an excellent opportunity to promote the Medicine Sect’s new Detoxification Elixir—a perfect plan.

Everything proceeded according to plan, and the development was very smooth; with the powerful effect of the Detoxification Pill, the sales of the Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir were booming.

Originally, if the trend continued, the Medicine Sect’s Detoxification Elixir would surely rise to prominence, bringing a steady stream of immense profits to the Medicine Sect, but they had not anticipated this turn of events.

The most ridiculous part was, up until now, Yao buc and Yao Ming were also unsure whether it was the Poison Sect’s doing, for, as mentioned, their fiercest poison, the Fierce Poison Pill, had been neutralized. Did the Poison Sect really have the audacity to attempt such a test and retaliation?

When Yao buc and Yao Ming saw Su Xiaoxi sitting next to Tang Ming, they finally realized it must have been Su Xiaoxi who told something to Tang Ming, leading them to discover that the pill Yao Ming had taken was the Detoxification Pill bought from the Su Family. The actual capability of the Detoxification Elixir was not enough to compare with the Detoxification Pill, which had led to the current mass poisoning incident.

At this point, Yao buc and Yao Ming were in a difficult position, unsure how to explain to those who had bought the Detoxification Elixir and those who had paid deposits.

As the crowd’s denunciation of Yao buc and Yao Ming escalated, An Laoyezi found himself unable to sit still any longer. If things continued this way, his teacher and junior brother might invoke the wrath of the crowd, and the sect might even be in danger. Most importantly, today was his birthday; having it end like this would be a huge loss of face for him in the future!

"Everyone please quiet down, let’s focus on saving lives first," An Laoyezi shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, let’s work on saving people first," Liu Tianji snapped back to reality, quickly looking at his father on the ground, now convulsing uncontrollably, and shouted anxiously, "Yao buc, aren’t you the Deputy Sect Master of the Medicine Sect? Hurry up and save my father, my father has heart disease, if this continues, he’s going to die."

"I didn’t administer the poison, so why are you yelling at me?" Yao buc said, his face pale with displeasure.

"But the Detoxification Elixir you sold us didn’t work, shouldn’t you take responsibility?" Upon hearing this, Liu Tianji and many others felt a chill in their hearts, the people of Medicine Sect were too irresponsible.

"Everyone, please calm down." An Zizai spoke up again, assuring everyone, "Although there was an issue with the Detoxification Elixir, my master is, after all, the Deputy Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, with divine medical skills. He personally will be able to help these people eradicate the fierce poison in their bodies."

"I..." Yao buc almost spat blood when he heard this. It would have been okay under normal circumstances, but now that he had exhausted himself trying to treat Ma Gangjian, his True Qi was depleted and he was utterly incapable of treating anyone else.

"Senior brother, listen to me." Yao Ming quickly went up to An Zizai and whispered the situation to him.

"You’ve got to be kidding me?" An Zizai’s eyes went wide with dismay, feeling deeply troubled. His master and junior brother had actually sold fake medicine at his own birthday celebration — how was he supposed to maintain his standing after this!

"Haha! How do you like the excitement, everyone? Hope you’re not disappointed." Tang Ming wiped his mouth, grinning sardonically at the others.

"Brilliant! Indeed, the ’Poison Emperor’ is clever!" Xin Badao gave a thumbs up, filled with admiration. Although the Poison Sect’s Fierce Poison Pill had been neutralized, causing embarrassment for the Sect, the revelation that the Medicine Sect had sold fake medicine was a far more complete loss of face — it was utterly disgraceful.

"Hehe, I’m pretty amazing too! I actually saw right through their plot." Li Xiaoli said, lifting her head with pride.

"Well done! Li, you’ve played a most pivotal role." Tang Ming started smiling. Without Li Xiaoli’s brilliant analysis earlier, those from the Medicine Sect wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire situation. He himself hadn’t thought of accusing them of selling fake medicine.

"Gentlemen, it’s not that I refuse to help, but I’m feeling unwell today and simply unable to practice medicine," Yao buc said, his face flushed with embarrassment as he addressed everyone loudly, "But do not worry; my disciple An Zizai has learned all my skills. Let him take over the treatment; he can surely detoxify everyone."

"What?" An Zizai was utterly baffled. Indeed, his medical skills were strong, but unlike Yao buc, he hadn’t mastered cultivation techniques. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have aged so quickly. Detoxifying was a lengthy and complex process. With nine people’s lives hanging by a thread, there simply wasn’t enough time.

"Senior brother, don’t be modest now. Everyone knows that your medical skills are the best in our Sect. If you cannot treat them, even master wouldn’t be able to do anything," Yao Ming quickly chimed in, aware of Yao buc’s predicament.

"Right, right, right, Divine Doctor An, you are renowned as a miracle healer with divine skills. Please save my father," Liu Tianji pleaded, his face filled with hope as he looked at An Zizai.

"Alright, bring all the poisoned people up on stage. I will diagnose and treat each one of them," An Zizai instructed with a sense of resignation for the people to lift the nine poisoned individuals onto the stage and then began the diagnosis.
